Over time it is easy to forget to buy anniversary gifts for your loved one to celebrate the day you got married. Also many people in this day and age will agree not to buy them for each other due to money constraints.

Even when an agreement is made between a married couple not to buy anniversary gifts for each other there is a feeling of disappointment on both parties sides as the day comes and goes without any acknowledgment by an exchange of sentimental gifts. We are all well aware that each anniversary year should be represented by a theme such as wood, paper, silver, ruby etc. however to make your loved one happy you do not necessarily have to abide by these traditions.
Rather than agreeing not to buy anniversary gifts for each other if you are indeed keeping an eye on what you spend you could reach an agreement to limit what you spend on them to say $10 or $20. This way you will not break the bank on lavish and expensive presents for one another.
You should remember that even if you cannot afford to spend any money on anniversary gifts that even a simple handmade card will bring a smile to your partners face and it shows that whilst you could not afford to buy any gift you still remember the special day you got married and it still means enough to you to take some time to celebrate it.
Also giving anniversary gifts does not inevitably mean you have to spend any money at all. I probably would not be far wrong thinking that most couples have settled into doing certain jobs around the house such as he cleans the car and puts the bins out and she cooks the dinners and does the polishing.
Why not show how much you care by arranging for your partner to go out for a couple of hours and while they are gone do all the jobs they would normally have to do around the house so that when they come back they are overjoyed to find they can have a break from the same old routine. Trust me they will remember this gesture long after any expensive roses have wilted or any chocolates that have been consumed.
Anniversary gifts are a way of remembering the special day you got married and a reminder to one another how much your partner still means to you. They are not about who can spend the most money and topping last years gesture as like all gifts it is the simple act of giving that will warm yours partners heart and remind them how lucky they are to have you.
After last year's lesson in gemstones, this year's anniversary gift idea is much easier, especially for the guys. It's just a shame that the people who made this list had to wait 39 years to come up with something that would really put a smile on a guy's face. The irony is really kind of, well, ironic. So, just what is it about this year's anniversary gift that is going to have all the guys smiling? One word. Lace.
The truth is that anniversary number one should have been lace instead of paper. Paper is what you should be getting each other now so you can write out your last will and testament. But that's not quite the way it worked out. Anyway, this is your shot guys. Time to head down to the lingerie shop and pick up one of those little lace nothings for your little woman. Yeah, right. It doesn't quite go does it. Well, what else can you get that's made out of lace if not those little unmentionables? Don't worry guys, we've got you covered.
Believe it or not, there are a lot of things that are made out of lace that don't end up in the bedroom or on the bedroom floor. One of the most common and popular lace gifts are lace tablecloths. These come in all sizes to fit all types of dining room tables. Most have patterns sewn into them but you can also get one that is relatively plain.
In addition to the lace tablecloths, you can also get items for your dining room to put on those cloths such as lace napkins. Yes, these are song lyrics on canvas relatively expensive compared to the kind you get at the supermarket but if you're going to dress up your dining room table you might as well do it right.
If you want to get away from the dining room, you might want to consider lace curtains for your living room. Make sure that when you order these you get the measurements just right. The last thing you want is for the curtains to be delivered and they don't fit right. That could really put a damper on your celebration.
If you're looking for something a little more out of the ordinary, you might want to go with a custom-made doll with lace clothing. These dolls are usually hand crafted and very beautiful. They're not cheap, but wait until you see the look on your wife's face when you give her one of these beauties.
Believe it or not, today they even make lace ornaments for your Christmas tree. This is a chance to pick up a few things that are relatively inexpensive. You're probably going to want to get a collection of ornaments for this occasion. You don't necessarily have to get enough to cover the whole tree, but enough to make an impression.
With a little imagination and an open bank account or credit card, you should have no trouble getting your spouse a lace anniversary gift that will make this anniversary a very special one.
